Capeshit is dying. What will replace it?
Pirateshit was the first escapism genre popularized in novel fictions.
Then pulp science.
Then space.
Then cowboys.
Then superheroes.
Then cowboys.
Then space again.
Then superheroes again.
So expect the return of pirateshit
Fantasy films. Time for the Forgotten Realm novels to be adapted.
kek DC is about to come up with their 10 year plan just as capeshit fades out
>What will replace it?
Video game movies. The MGS movie will be the Iron Man of its era.
>So expect the return of pirateshit
Unfortunately, pirateshit is even more vulnerable to pozzing given the presence of slavery at its height and shit like 'OMG, did you know the pirates were totes communists! See, it works!' bullshit.
Finally people are growing up.
It's not interest in superhero movies that's dropped. It's tolerance for diversity casting that's dropped.
unironically anime
>So expect the return of pirateshit
based
Nah. People don't give a fuck about grown men in tights fighting giant purple aliens and killer clowns anymore and even the normies are realizing that every capeshit story is literally the exact same thing.
Capeshit is the 10s/20s Slashers.
>article headline says thing!
Yeah that's why No Way Home made shy of 2 billion dollars at the box office just 8 months ago lmfao. And that was in peak pandemic hysteria when people weren't leaving their houses. Or what about The second reboot of Batman is under 10 years after Snyder killed all goodwill the character had coming off the Nolan movies? 700 million, still in a pandemic hysteria world where in some parts of the world unvaccinated people weren't even allowed inside movie theatres. What a garbage click bait article. Sage in all fields
Anime
Hopefully race won't be an issue since it's fucking FANTASY
Shhhh! Those movies don't fit our narrative. Talk about Thor 4 underperforming instead!
What will replace it?
slightly grittier capeshit
still most Any Forums anons were retarded thinking every capeshit need to garner atleast 1 billion for not to be considered flop and yeah i kinda get it if most famous heroes like spidey and batman werent reaching that revenue but cmon now its thor wtf do people expect another 2 billion avengers endgame money
Nothing, western cinema is dead.
The MCU is dead, long live the MCU (Motorcycle Club Universe).
This. And even the marvel movies that aren't exactly performing well are garbage movies, Eternals was terrible, Thor 4 was just a 2 hour long SNL skit, these are the movies people will point to when they say the genre is dying. Meanwhile in reality, like you said, Spiderman No Way Home made almost 2 billion dollars in a covid world, and the entirety of Canada didn't allow unvaccinated people inside movie theatres during that time, not to mention they claimed that half of movie goers hadn't returned to the cinemas during peak covid bullshit
>The poll found 36% of all respondents enjoy superhero movies, down from 41% last November.
It's over, bury the corpse, the whole genre is no longer profitable.
